When searching for food and shelter, a rat’s powerful jaw enables them to chew through a wide range of building materials, including the most durable plastic air bricks on the market, to enter a property.
When it comes to replacing damaged plastic bricks, it is important that the new air bricks have a similar air flow to those being replaced so that the space, usually a subfloor area, continues to be adequately ventilated. For example, if a plastic air brick were to be replaced with a clay air brick, there would be around five times less air flow which could lead to the build-up of moisture and problems with damp.
When looking to replace gnawed plastic air bricks, Rytons has an extensive range of metal air brick alternatives.
Made from hard galvanised steel, Rytons metal air bricks are available in three popular brick sizes (single, double and triple) and three designs. All air brick styles offer high free area measurements to maintain an air flow similar to that of a plastic brick of the same size. Supplied powder coated, these metal air vents are made to order in any colour from the RAL Classic colour chart to maintain the external appearance of the building.
Rytons metal air bricks are non-combustible with an A1 fire classification, making them fire safe and suitable for use in high-rise buildings and any building requiring fire proof materials.
Rytons metal air bricks are part of Rytons A1 Fire-rated Ventilation Range.
